Magazine
profile
Jack Laird
04/11/15
CN:1102
Age: 13 years plus
as this is the age
where a lot of
people become
engaged in
becoming more
active and
enjoying sports.
Gender: I am going to
aim my magazine
towards the male
population as
stereotypically, men
enjoy sport more than
women.
Type of magazine: I
will be aiming to
create a sports
magazine. It will be
an urban sports
type of magazine
featuring things
like parkour,
skating etc.
Publishing schedule: I will be publishing
a new magazine as often as around
every month as it is enough time for
people to buy then read then build
suspense for the next issue.
Cost: I would like to price my
magazine at around £3-£3.99 so
that whilst giving people a good
run for their money, I would still
be able to make profit from the
sales.
Contents: In my magazine I will
be including many features.
These features include things
such as interviews, intriguing
images, event dates, reviews
and also professional athlete
profiles.
Size: I will make my magazine around 22-26
pages long so that I can fit in all of the
articles from throughout the month.
Colour palette: I will be using a darker colour scheme to
appeal to my audience and also too seem extravagant and
bold.

5. Task 17 – Magazine styling
Clothing type: I will be using the stereotypical skater-like clothing. This includes: tight, black skinny
jeans, baggy t-shirt, Nike SB shoes and baggy wrist accessories. This is because is will attract my
audience to read it as it relates to what they may wear. It could also inspire them to want to buy this
type of merchandise. If it did, I could then include adverts of the companies selling the items making
the purchase easier whilst also increasing sales and advertisement for the business or company.
Body positioning: I will use a shot of a trick performed by the model featuring on the front page.
This will make my audience want to see more images like it so they will open the magazine and read
it. It will be a mid-air, full length shot of the model from a low down angle to make them look
important on the front cover and also inspire the audience to pick up the sport.
Make up and hair: I will not be using any make up or hair products on my model for the cover as I
want it to seem as natural as possible whilst also standing out and being different from other normal
types of magazines.
